Good thing he was so close to the ground. It would have been sad if
he'd gotten stuck up there. We've never had anyone get stuck up their
yet, we don't want to start now.


In all fairness, apparently "Daredevil pilot Dick Rutan" made some comment
about being lucky it didn't happen when he was above the clouds, but yea,
"Fortunately, he was flying below 1000 feet." is one of the dumber things
I've read from the press.
